Customizing legend Gene Winfield constructed Strip Star for Bob Larivee’s Promotions Incorporated show circuit, a traveling exhibition that allowed custom car makers to show their vehicles to a wide audience, gain awards and publicity for their work, and, for many, attract clients. Mastercraftsman Gene Winfield hand-built the one-of-a-kind, asymmetric body, which he designed in collaboration with Ernie Graves and mounted on a modified 1946 Ford chassis.
